A new interdisciplinary podcast by Mona Jebril, focused on war-torn zones and conflict-affected areas, from a range of different backgrounds and disciplines. Website: https://monajebril.wixsite.com/allic-podcast.
In this episode, we hear from Arwa Alzraiy, an UNRWA teacher from Gaza and PhD scholar at Durham University, who travelled to Gaza for her fieldwork but had to interrupt it when the 2023 war began and she returned to her UNRWA duties. Still trapped in Gaza, she is now slowly returning to her research.
Arwa is researching peace while living through war. Her story raises urgent questions about the responsibility and power of international universities to support students and researchers from conflict zones. She reflects on the challenges and contradictions she faced, how she does not feel she has “survived,” and how she draws on her faith and her commitment to be useful to her community, and to the research she believes can serve it.
